@GolfTourChicago No it doesn't.

@pennymarienz Are you ok? This is weird.

@DadGolfLife @J_AFC93 He's still got 18 to go and not showing any signs of slowing down. He's gonna struggle to be standing at the end of next episode

@AeroTechVH @Ingleton_ian 1) you don't have the right to hold the racing line when your front wheels are level only with the rear wheels of the lead car.

@Mykuhl @GraemeEdgeler I'm not ok with that, and i think the process should be improved, as per the recommendations of the report. I'm not ok with disenfranchising those who don't 'have their act together' to achieve it when it wasn't deemed necessary by anyone without a partisan interest.

[mike aitken @aitkenmike]

@Mykuhl @GraemeEdgeler If the negative effects being mitigated were 100s of incorrectly counted votes, surely that should be weighed against the 1000s (tens of thousands?) of votes not able to be cast at all this election?

@nanoscalebiomed It's not nascar!

Nice democracy you got here ...

@FrankMcRae Moved from a spineless liberal wing to a non-existant liberal wing

[Lew @LewSOS]

The govt's cynical partisan attempt to disenfranchise voters has resulted in 300k fewer special votes and a 4% fall in turnout for no operational benefit and no cost saving

Its only effect was to prevent the wrong people from voting, as intended

[mike aitken @aitkenmike]

It's almost like Luxons justifcation for viter suppression was complete and utter bullshit

[Charted Daily @Charteddaily]

It is insane that despite special votes coming in ~300k (!) below the Commission's 700k planning assumption, they are still expecting to take 20 days for the official count.
In 2017 they did it in 14 days with late enrolments, 446k specials & an $18m staff budget (it's $95m now).

@elenitsunonini @alexsurelee @euphorichaIsey I don't think you should be giving advice until you better understand the system

[mike aitken @aitkenmike]

@RobertoSatire @euphorichaIsey @GAS_CBRC20 They are very different parties. With very different policies. Australian greens are much more of the old NIMBY left.

@Abomination81 This sounds like a skill (hiring) issue

@JasonCl27104227 @chrisTHFC13 What top 6 club would have had a back 5 of Forster, Davies, Dragusin, Grey and Porro. Maybe if the board wanted him to compete on all fronts they could have given him a bit of help.

[mike aitken @aitkenmike]

@aniobrien I know right. It would be terrible for our democracy that a party with 4.9% of the vote isn't represented. Drop the threshold as recommended by the electoral commission (id go further but it's a start)

[mike aitken @aitkenmike]

@PolitlcsUK Yay, expensive bureaucracy on top of private monopoly.

[mike aitken @aitkenmike]

@Mr_Andrew_Fox That's pretty anti-semitic of you Andrew

[mike aitken @aitkenmike]

@Suitandtie9999 They wanted to sabotage NZ First by not bringing it up until after half the electorate voted? Interesting theory.
